I rarely head out to my garden without taking my phone or mobile device with me because I almost ALWAYS find something that I want to Google.  From a weird look a plant has, to a bug I saw, or maybe a coloring or weird shape of a vegetable.

* Comprehensive Moon and Sun information

—————————————————

Moon gardening is a centuries old practice. The Moon is our closest celestial neighbor and the most prominent object in the night sky. Although the Moon is so much smaller than the Sun, it strongly affects everything on the Earth, including many aspects of your life.

Not only tides and animals are affected by the Moon phases, but also they influence human emotions, relationships, blood pressure and even plants.

How does it work? Just as the Moon pulls the tides in the oceans, it also pulls the subtle bodies of water, causing moisture to rise in the earth, which encourages plant growth.

When the water rises, plants take up nutrients faster, making it an ideal time to plant. Grow plants faster and discover new amazing results!
